Rasheed Wallace attended practice, helped Knicks’ big men (Video)

The Knicks need Rasheed Wallace to give them a boost

With the New York Knicks off to a 1-5 start to the current NBA season, head coach David Fizdale decided to bring in NBA great Rasheed Wallace to help his young big men.

Wallace had a great NBA career after being taken with the fourth overall pick in the 1995 NBA draft by the Washington Bullets.

Wallace only played for the Bullets for one season before being traded to the Portland Trail Blazers where he spent eight years. He also spent time with the Atlanta Hawks briefly as well as five years with the Detroit Pistons where he won an NBA title.

Wallace also spent some with the Knicks during the 2012-13 season. HIs finished his career with an average of 14.1 points, 6.7 rebounds and 1.3 blocks per game. He didn’t have the best stats, but was a menacing player towards opposing teams.

Stefan Bondy of the New York Daily News took some video of Wallace in action.

“Y’all coming off these screens bullshitting and lollygagging.” Wallace said to the Knicks’ bigs, via Bondy.

I love what Fizdale is doing by bringing in Wallace. As a head coach he’s doing his best to coach up his guys, but hearing it from someone like Wallace could really help his guys get it.

It’s like when your parents tell you to eat your vegetables as a kid. You obviously don’t want to listen. Now if a friend of yours is doing it and encourages you to also eat your veggies, you might be more inclined to do so.

The Knicks next game is on Monday night against the Brooklyn Nets. They will look to avenge an early season loss to their crosstown rivals.
